Smell: The nose on this one is nearly all citrus - dominantly grapefruit aroma mixed with a pleasant amount of almost honey-like sweetness from the malt.
Appearance: Pours a nice copper with a solid white head that laces nicely and retains most of the way through the glass.
Taste: When it first hits your tongue, the flavor is dominantly citrusy and holds some of the accompanying bitterness from the hops. As the taste progresses, it takes on more flavor from the malt and finishes out with a very slightly toasted note before fading back to a nice residual hop bitterness on the palate.
Mouthfeel: As is fitting for an IPA, it rolls around just slightly heavy in the mouth.
Drinkability: The copious quantity of hops involved in this beer makes it ever so slightly too bitter to really just drink one after another after another. That said, if you drink this with some munchie type food or with a meal, it goes down really easily...
